ributes TO the Memory OF =. ID
Norton and w. II. Collins by Tn
Faculty OF Hiram, College.

Norton and w. n. Collins by IN e
Faculty OF Hiram College.
Since it has seemed good to the
Heavenly Father. by providence as
painful as it was unexpected, to re-
move one of our honOred students
from our midst, we feel that the occa-
son calls for some suitable tribute to
his worth, and some fitting expression
of our sense of the loss we have sus-
tanned.
James Edgar Norton was one whom
it is pleasure to have counted as a
FRIEND.
Through the years of our daily in
timacy we have come to recognize in
him the thorough and col s:ientious
student, the refined and cultured gem
tleman, and the devoted Christian :;
one to whom life meant all that is no.
ble in character and exalted in achieve.
ment. He has fallen on the threshold
of u manhood of unusual power and
promise.
As Faculty and college, our loss is
irreparable. Few young men were so
iutelligently aliye to every high inter
est of the college; and had he lived to
graduate from its halls, he would have
gone forth bearing his Alma Mater
upon his heart.
To the sacred circle of his own fam
lily and home. upon whom the shad-
Ows of this sore bereavement fall most
darkly, we extend our earnest sympa-
thy. We would mingle our tears with
theirs, while we cherish for ourselves
and commend to all others, the price
less legacy of his memory and his
example.
Since in the providence of an ALL
wise God it has seemed good to call
our young brother. w. III. Collins,
from the labor and trouble of earthly
life to the rest and quiet of a heavenly
home, we. the Faculty of Hiram Col
lege, desire to express our grief and to
extend our sympathy to his sorrowing
mother, sister, and brother.
By the death of William Hayden
Collins we have lost one whom we
have loved as pleasing and agreeable
Jm paniOn, respected as a student
hOnored as Christian. During the
four years he was in our midst we
l earned to value his merit and true
worth. With his school mates he was
social and courteous; to his teachers
he was respectful and attentive; to
wards those bound to him by family
ties he was ever kind and loving.
We sorrow; though we must know,
to use his own words, that
There is more cause for joy than for sorrow,
for the corruptible hath put on incor-
ruption and the mortal hath put on
Immortality. He has left us ali rich
legacy in the example of pure and
useful life, brought, as it may seem, to
an untimely end let us therefore look
above this cloud of grief and endeavor
better to understand the ways of Him
who doeth all things well.
I'VE see but dimly through the mists and vapors,
Amid these earthly damps;
What seem to us but sad funereal tapers
May be heavens distant lamps"

THE Maine laWyers have q knot

The Maine lawyers have knotty
problem to solve. A murderer is
awaiting trial in Portland whose crime
was committed before the law provi-
ding for capital punishment was re-
pealed. As the law was not made re-
troactive, it is claimed on the one
hand that if convicted the man must
be hanged, that being the penalty
when the murder was committed. On
the other hand, it is insisted that
hanging is abolished. and no man can
be hanged. The jury will probably
disagree, acquit or find the man guilty
of manslaughter.
